traditional Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) I've just completed this '37 Chevy Sedan Delivery, combining an AMT '37 Chev roadster, a Revell '39 Chev sedan delivery, copious scratchbuilding and detailing to make it as accurate (stock) as possible. The '37, 38, and 39 Chevies used basically the same sedan delivery body, chassis and drivetrain with different front clips, so the project seemed like a possibility. The Revell '39 (originally Monogram) is strictly a street rod so Monogram took lots of liberty with simplifying and modifying to suit their needs. The underbody detail as well as interior required lots of scratchbuilding to be accurate for a stock sedan delivery. I also wanted to open all the doors as well as make the engine hoods hinge open separately as on stock 37 Chevrolet car bodies The windshield gasket and door vent window trim is done in fine wire, and I've even cut open and hinged the cowl vent. The main paint is automotive basecoat clearcoat to approximate the available '37 Chevrolet Regatta Red, with details picked out using Humbrol and Tamiya as well as a bit of Molotow Chrome. The project has taken a month of fairly busy modelling time       Edited February 12 by traditional 16 1

STU111 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Awesome. Beautiful finish, scratch building and attention to the little details makes this a stand out. Top notch. đđť
Zippi Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Very nice looking build there Cliff. That added touch of opening the doors really makes it look even better. Â
espo Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Beautiful paint color and finish, Chevrolet could only hope they could roll out on this nice back then. Glad you included your construction photos. This helps to better understand just how much it took to create the proper appearance.Â
ncbuckeye67 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 That is a true masterpiece! Wow, every detail is incredible!
DJMar Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Wow, that is some amazing work! I can't even wrap my head around everything you've done there.
Chuckyg1 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Excellent conversion. Lotta work, but a beautiful end result. I really like this one.
happy grumpy Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Absolutely beautiful. I like those old fat fenders. You made my day.
Smitty Posted February 15 Posted February 15 You've done an outstanding job on this Chevy Cliff! A ton of work must have gone into creating an amazing replica that you just aren't going to see anywhere else. You did a really nice job adapting the '37 rear fenders to the body and adding the continued line from the front fenders on the doors. I love the poseable steering and the hinged hood (with 'prop rod' included!) - and these sedan deliveries certainly had a unique rear bumper. Great colours and immaculate finishes all around-as usual. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.
BK9300 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Very well planned and executed build - love all the functioning doors/hood - beautiful job!
Bainford Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Just superb! That is a lovely delivery. Looks great as a '37. Excellent model building.Â
